Virginia’s Next Governor Shows His Support for Local Beer (via Style Weekly)

Although Gov. Terry McAuliffe was quick to quip about his Irish heritage as an excuse for his support of Virginia craft beer, he also recognized the industry’s ability to support the Commonwealth’s economy. If Virginia brewery supporters worry that a change in administration will dampen the support, Governor-elect Ralph Northam seems poised to alleviate any concerns. He has agreed to let Center of the Universe Brewing, Ashland, brew an all-Virginia ale in honor of his inauguration.

The Know Good Beer Festival will provide craft beer lovers with an amazing selection of regional and national brew, and maximum exposure to local craft brewers, artists, musicians, and mobile food vendors.

Your KGB ticket entitles you to unlimited 2-4 oz samples from dozens of carefully selected craft beers. See the list of attending breweries here. Bourbon tasting is also unlimited. Each pour of bourbon will be 1/4 to 1/2 of an ounce.
